Well I took the survey, wasn't a lot of options there but wherever possible I sent the message of ads being bad, and the lack of customization / dismissing tiles being missed. I also stated that the waste of space wasn't ideal.
Hopefully everyone who got the homescreen also gets a survey. |

Yes, in my email. And further proof they know who has a new homescreen I actually have two accounts with Kobo. One for my KA1 and one for my H2O (I did this to prevent showing non-downloaded books since it also happened around when I got my KA1). My H2O hasn't been updated, because I don't use it anymore, while I keep my KA1 generally up to date. It was the email tied to the KA1 that got the survey.

In my suitcase, where it belongs! I'll get my sense of adventure out again, with the next holiday, not with my reader! I'm still running 4.0.7523 and happy with it. I'm with the group: if it ain't broken, don't fix it! |

The linked page has a large link for "Contact Kobo Customer Care". Clicking that opens a page to select a country. Clicking the country goes to a "bad web form".

It may be of interest that I reset my original Kobo Glo today. It updated to the latest firmware, but did not have the new home screen.

OK, I'm game. (It won't break my heart if this has the new screen, since it's largely out of the rotation.) Despite a few syncs, it's never updated past 4.3.8842.

That sync took me to 4.3.8945. Still the old screen. I'm not willing to play Russian roulette with the devices listed to the left, however.

Thanks for the percentage; I like knowing what the real risks are. |

That bad web form is actually so bad that it doesn't even have a submit button, only a "call us" button.

I just tried again here, and the button I get depends on the problem I select in the drop-down. For some, get mail and chat. For others, just mail. It might also depend on the time of day. The might offer the other choices outside of business hours.
